Today the Behind No Doors project shifted gears and entered a new phase. Inspired Youth were really excited to welcome performance artist Nic Hobson to the project. Nic has a wealth of experience in performance and movement arts and we could think of no better person to help us move some of the collective experience of the group through a further creative process.
The aims of the session were:
- Begin to develop a personal narrative time line
- Identify key moments with freeze frames
- Use movement arts to express some of your experiences
"I can express key moments of my journey through performance arts"
The red marks show how they felt, as a group, at the beginning of the session and the purple marks show how they felt at the end.
In preparation for exploring collective and individual experience of the issue, the first task was for each person to create an individual narrative timeline. The timeline could include as much or as little information as people wished and could be presented in anyway they felt most comfortable with. The purpose of the timeline was to express the events, circumstances, decisions, problems, opportunities and states of mind, body and spirit that defined their experience being homeless. With this information we could best understand each person's individual experience in order to carry some of the substance into the film direction.
